SKT Favoritism from Riot?

Is it just me or does it seem that SKT has gotten some SERIOUS favoritism this year?

Not only did they get the easiest group, they never had to play any games back to back. That is a huge advantage since it gives your coach and analysts more time to counter your opponent. This stems back to last year where they had similar circumstances.

I realize that a lot of money comes from Korea and that SKT is the favorite team there, but this seems pretty shady to me.
